“The Research and Training Center (RTC) for Children’s Mental Health at the University of South Florida is conducting several five-year studies to identify critical implementation factors which support communities and states in their efforts to build effective systems of care to serve the needs of children and adolescents with, or at risk of, serious emotional disturbances and their families. One of these studies, conducted jointly by the RTC, the Human Service Collaborative of Washington, DC, the National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health at Georgetown University, and Family Support Systems, Inc. examines financing plans, structures, and strategies that communities use to build systems of care.”
